Choose the grammatically correct sentence.
Je suis allé(e) en France quand j'avais dix-huit ans.
CORRECT
J'ai allé en France quand j'étais dix-huit ans.
J'ai été en France quand j'ai eu dix-huit ans.
Je suis allé(e) en France quand j'étais dix-huit ans.
J'étais en France quand j'ai été dix-huit ans.
Explanation
This sentence means, "I went to France when I was eighteen." "Went" is one single action and therefore translates into the passé composé. "Was" is a continuous action/state and therefore translates into the imparfait.
